Portraying Muslim scholars such as Yusuf al-Qaradawi and even Tariq Ramadan as extremists is absurd – and dangerous, Naima Bouteldja argues.
An excellent article. However, the author is wrong in assuming that Professor Ramadan’s opponents in France are the main source of misinformation for right-wing journalists compiling attacks on him in Britain. Rather, it is US Islamophobes like Daniel Pipes and Steve Emerson who provide the Sun et al with their lies and distortions. The recent article in the Sun “exposing” Ramadan was a crude cut-and-paste job from articles by those two writers.
